+ <title>Boot your computer from the CD</title>
+ <para>
+ Switch on your computer, load the Fedora &PRODVER; live CD into the CD or DVD
drive, and restart the computer with the disc still in the drive. Ideally, you should soon
see the Fedora boot screen and a ten-second countdown:

+ </figure>
+ <para>
+ Either press <keycap>Enter</keycap> to select the <guilabel>Start
Fedora &PRODVER;</guilabel> option, or wait for the countdown to expire.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ If you do not see this screen, you might need to select an option manually to make your
computer boot from the CD. Power your computer on, and watch the initial BIOS screen for a
prompt that indicates which key to use for either:
+ </para>
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ a boot menu, or
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ the BIOS setup utility
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ <para>
+ The boot menu option is preferable. If you cannot see such a prompt, consult your
manufacturer's documentation for your computer system, motherboard, or mainboard for
the correct keystroke. On many systems, the required key will be
<keycap>F12</keycap>, <keycap>F2</keycap>,
<keycap>F1</keycap>, <keycap>Esc</keycap>, or
<keycap>Delete</keycap>.

+ <title>Burn the image file to CD</title>
+ <para>
+ The exact series of steps that produces a CD from an image file varies greatly from
computer to computer, depending on the operating system and disc burning software
installed. Use this procedure as a general guide. You might be able to omit certain steps
on your computer, or might have to perform some of the steps in a different order from the
order described here.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Make sure that your disc burning software is capable of burning discs from image files.
Although this is true of most disc burning software, exceptions exist.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ In particular, note that the CD burning feature built into Windows XP and Windows Vista
cannot burn CDs from images and that earlier Windows operating systems did not have any CD
burning capability installed by default. Therefore, if your computer has a Windows
operating system prior to Windows 7 installed on it, you need a separate piece of
software for this task. Examples of popular CD burning software for Windows that you might
already have on your computer include <application>Nero Burning
ROM</application> and <application>Roxio Creator</application>. If you
use a Windows operating system on your computer and do not have disc burning software
installed (or you are not sure that the software can burn discs from image files)
<application>InfraRecorder</application> is a suitable alternative available
from <ulink
url="http://www.infrarecorder.org/"></ulink>, and is
free and open-source.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The <application>Disk Utility</application> software installed by default
with Mac OS X on Apple computers has the capability to burn CDs from images built
into it already. Most widely-used CD burning software for Linux, such as
<application>Brasero</application> and
<application>K3b</application>, also includes this capability.
+ </para>
+ <procedure>
+ <step>
+ <para>
+ Insert a blank, writeable CD into your computer's CD or DVD burner. On some
computers, a window opens and displays various options when you insert the disc. If you
see a window like this, look for an option to launch your chosen disc burning program. If
you do not see an option like this, close the window and launch the program manually.
+ </para>
+ </step>
+ <step>
+ <para>
+ Launch your disc burning program. On some computers, you can do this by
right-clicking (or control-clicking) on the image file and selecting a menu option with a
label like <guilabel>Copy image to CD</guilabel>, or <guilabel>Copy CD
or DVD image</guilabel>. Other computers might provide you with a menu option to
launch your chosen disc burning program, either directly or with an option like
<guimenuitem>Open With</guimenuitem>. If none of these options are available
on your computer, launch the program from an icon on your desktop, in a menu of
applications such as the <guimenu>Start</guimenu> menu on Windows operating
systems, or in the Mac <filename>Applications</filename> folder.
+ </para>
+ </step>
+ <step>
+ <para>
+ In your disc burning program, select the option to burn a CD from an image file. For
example, in <application>Nero Burning ROM</application>, this option is called
<guimenuitem>Burn Image</guimenuitem> and is located on the
<guimenu>File</guimenu> menu.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Note that you can skip this step when using certain CD burning software; for example,
<application>Disk Utility</application> on Mac OS X does not require
it.
+ </para>
+ </step>
+ <step>
+ <para>
+ Browse to the ISO CD image file that you downloaded previously and select it for
burning.
+ </para>
+ </step>
+ <step>
+ <para>
+ Click the button that starts the burning process.
+ </para>
+ </step>
+ </procedure>
+ <note>
+ <title>Check the CD</title>
+ <para>
+ After the burning process completes, browse to the CD and check its contents. If you
have burned the disc correctly, it should contain a number of files and folders, including
<filename>GPL</filename>, <filename>README</filename>,
<filename>LiveOS</filename>, <filename>EFI</filename>, and
+ <filename>isolinux</filename>. If you see only a single file named
<filename>Fedora-&PRODVER;-i686-Live.iso</filename>, you have burned the
image file itself to the CD, rather than burning a CD from the image file. In this case,
you cannot use the CD and must try again.
